A Supportive Environment for Folks of All Ages & Abilities
At Dream, students are encouraged to practice yoga at their own pace in our supportive, non-competitive environment. The Studio features Hatha Yoga (emphasizing yoga postures and breathing and relaxation techniques) mainly in the Kripalu Yoga style—a yoga practice that teaches the basic mechanics of yoga postures and breath…while encouraging inner focus, feeling and mind-body awareness. (Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health is the largest yoga center in the nation.)

Our classes and services are designed for people of all ages with varying degrees of experience and abilities. Included in our diverse offerings are Prenatal Yoga, Mindfulness Meditation, the ancient rites of rejuvenation known as The Five Tibetans, Restorative Yoga, Laughter Yoga, Vinyasa Power Yoga, and Partner Yoga. We have yoga for children and teens; and for you and your child together.

Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation & Stress Reduction
Updated: 09-06-2009
A special opportunity to become familiar with the time-tested, relaxing and restorative qualities of Mindfulness Meditation. We'll explore how meditation helps lower stress levels, and be more balanced and healthy. We know that many folks are often intimidated by the thought of sitting still for long periods of time. So we’ll first explore gentle flowing movements that release tension and stress, to prepare for meditation. As weeks progress, instructions will cover meditation while sitting, kneeling, standing and walking. Each class includes deep relaxation in the reclining posture. Esteemed Meditation Instructor Jon Waterman will also offer short talks which include a relaxed blend of Applied Mindfulness—a secular approach to teaching meditation similar to Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and some traditional teachings from the path to enlightenment. This series is primarily for those new to meditation and/or want to reduce stress. Props such as chairs, sitting cushions, blankets and eye masks will be provided.

Introduction to The Five Tibetans
Updated: 09-06-2009
Special 4-week Class, starts November 1. The Five Tibetans are known as the ancient "Rites of Rejuvenation" or the "Fountain of Youth." In less than 20 minutes a day, the Tibetans will strengthen, energize and balance you. You’ll feel healthier, more alive! The Tibetans are known to enhance bone mass, eliminate double chins, boost memory and immunity, improve eyesight, posture/spinal health, and more. The Tibetans can be strenuous, but modifications are shown and practiced in this introductory class open to students brand-new to the Tibetans and to those who want a refresher course. You’ll learn relevant warm-ups, how to perform each Tibetan with proper alignment and breathing, and how to avoid injury/ramifications of this powerful practice. We’ll discuss the impact the Tibetans have on the Chakra energy centers, glands and organs, and you’ll get your questions answered about your practice. You’ll also receive lots of handouts and teacher support to aid your home practice of the Tibetans. Instructor Luann Fulbright, owner/director of Dream Yoga Studio, has taught students The Five Tibetans since 2003.

Yoga Abs: Moving From & Strengthening Your Core
Updated: 09-06-2009
Strong and toned abdominal muscles are important—not just for looking better in your clothes! You need core strength to have good posture and avoid low back pain. Strength—as well as flexibility in the abdominal muscles—promotes good balance, helping us avoid falls. Plus it delivers stability and freedom to your yoga poses. When you strengthen your core, you also awaken your core power…resulting in your feeling more capable and empowered in body, mind and spirit! In this class, we’ll go beyond the idea of rock-hard, six-pack abs and work toward abs that are strong, sleek, and flexible -- the ideal abs for yogis! You’ll learn greater core awareness as you engage in yoga warm-ups; poses and slow vinyasa flow yoga; various targeted abdominal exercises; and tummy-toning breathing techniques. Together, these will foster the perfect equilibrium between flexibility and stability—giving you healthy abdominal muscles that are strong but not so hard that they restrict the flow of breath and Prana.

YOGA BASICS for Beginners&Beyond
Updated: 09-06-2009
Whether you're new to yoga or just new to Kripalu-style Hatha yoga, you'll enjoy this beautiful class that'll reach you on all levels. We'll stretch & strengthen our bodies, calm our minds & learn to open ourselves to more joy. This class provides a solid foundation for starting your yoga practice…or starting anew to refresh your knowledge of important Hatha yoga basics. All of the major categories of yoga postures will be explored—standing & balancing postures, seated & reclining postures, cleansing twists, beginning backbends and basic inversions. You’ll learn proper alignment of poses and breathing techniques that calm/energize you. We’ll engage in yoga stretches and “warm-ups” that increase range of motion and prepare the body for the deeper postures. You’ll experience greater flexibility, strength, stress relief, improved posture and mind-body-spirit harmony. You’ll be encouraged to practice mindfulness, challenge yourself appropriately, and honor your body's individual needs.
